Fashion for Paws!

Today marks the start of fundraising for Fashion for Paws. Sparkle and I had a great time last year and raised over $8000. This year I will be walking the runway with Frank who is already planning his outfit, but we need your help to make this happen. There are many ways you can contribute:

Join us on March 19th for a Yappy Hour at Pete's Apizza

Buy a ticket to the event and see Frank strut down the runway in all his glory

Purchase an ad for your business to be displayed in the official program book

Stop by Friendship and enter our raffle for the chance to win many great prizes

In case you are not familiar with the event, Fashion for Paws in now in it's fifth year and has raised over one million dollars for the Washington Humane Society (WHS). Friendship is the emergency hospital for WHS and I have personally treated many of the abused and neglected rescued by WHS Humane Law Enforcement Officer. This has given me a first-hand view into the critical work that WHS provides for the animals and people of our community.

All proceeds from the Fashion for Paws Runway Show directly benefit the more than 30,000 homeless, lost, neglected and abused animals WHS cares for each year. Your donations will also support vital programs such as Humane Law Enforcement, Humane Education, low cost vaccination and spay-neuter programs, Dog Tags and the WHS Behavior and Learning Center.

I would greatly appreciate any help, this organization and the amazing work they do is very close to my heart. To make a donation please visit my fundraising page or post a comment with any questions and I will be happy to get back to you.

About Me

I am a veterinarian who works at Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington, DC.
I live in Northwest DC with my four dogs and three cats Poppy, Frank, Sparkle, Lilly, Furla, Vegas and Breaker. Needless to say with this crew there is never a dull moment in my house.
Working at Friendship is amazing and I cannot imagine practicing anywhere else. I hope you enjoy reading about what we do and all the ways you can give your pet the best possible care. I would be lost without the animals in my life; let me help you care for the pets in yours.
